August 31st Houston Sports FaF Smear (TRG’s final post)

It’s something unpredictable and in the end it’s right.  I hope you had the time of your life. I hate to do this suddenly, but  a new baby and new work struggles and new life opportunities have presented themselves. My cup truly runneth over. I am officially retiring from Fourth and Fifty and the blogosphere, [...]

August 28th Houston Sports FaF Smear (and duty calls)

Today people could be seen frantically running around Houston with no direction asking out loud “Where is my FaF Smear today? I don’t have any direction  in my life, I need my smarmy Houston sports updates!” Relax my children, I am here to shed light onto the darkness that is Houston sports. Just consider this [...]

NBA 2K10 Trailer: It’s Amazing

Oh hells yes. Fuck NBA Live, this game will allow you to channel your inner Pops Mensa-Bonsu. That’s all I got to say about that.

August 27 Houston Sports FaF Smear

Better hella late than hella never. You might have missed the Random Goldfish Madden 2010 review yesterday.  It was the meat of a “content sandwich”, nestled between the honey oat-flavored bread of yesterday’s smear and the triumphant return of the FAFU. You were probably so overwhelmed with content (triple the daily nutritional recommendation) that you [...]

The FaFU: Cats, Kitties, Pussies, et al.

The FaFU is an occassional post that Septimus Rex does when he damn well feels like it. Being that this is a sports website, it needs a little sumpin’sumpin to make sure it remains stilled in reality. Lately that means it focuses on everything but sports. This week is no different. Welcome to the Kitty [...]

Madden 2010: A Random Goldfish Review

Madden is not only the longest-running football game, it is a cultural touchstone, spawning tournaments, ESPN shows, and a huge following of people who wouldn’t otherwise play video games (frat boys and black people).  It is universally loved by normal people and reviled by nerds for diluting their gaming medium.  (Nerds are less open to diversifying [...]

August 26th Houston FaF Smear

Sitting on the 59. Summer’s coming up from behind. All the way from ’92. I need to get myself a better look at you. The Eagles roster is becoming a clusterfuck of epic proportions. Perhaps Andy Reid has a couple tricks still up his arm flab, but for now nothing makes sense. Many resolutions need [...]

August 25th Houston FaF Smear

Brought me down straight to my knees, doing things I’ve never seen. Got me cryin’ like a baby. Apparently, the new thing to do is to crumble under the pressure of the proletariat. First it was the commissioner of my fantasy football league, one Wanks MacGruber, who turned into a sniveling, pandering punk. Because two, [...]

August 24 Houston Sports FaF Smear

Steve Nash was on the Sports Guy’spodcast and plugged the documentary he and his cousin are making for ESPN. Normally, when an athlete and his cousin start a production company to make a movie, it means financial ruin and a summer job at Radio Shack. For some reason, I just assume that the Nash piece [...]

UH Scrimmage Live Blog

I am here battling the heat and humidity at the Carl Lewis track stadium to live blog the UH scrimmage for you. The things I do for you people… No appreciation… Sheesh. I am using my iPhone so bear with the typos.
